RSSDI - A history of excellence

Research Society for Study of Diabetes in India (RSSDI) was founded by Prof. M.M.S. Ahuja who conceived the idea for establishing the society for ensuring academic activity and research and holding scientific meetings, and providing training facilities for research. And so, RSSDI was registered on July 29, 1972.
The first academic activity of the Society was a symposium-cum-workshop in Delhi on Etiogenesis of Diabetes Mellitus, between December 19 and 23, 1972. About 30 scientists from various parts of India including two from abroad participated in this exercise and 22 papers were presented along with a panel discussion on Biological Characterisation on Insulin.
By 1995, RSSDI became the largest Indian Society of Diabetes Health care professionals and researchers. In January 2000, the society had 1245 life members representing 25 States and Union Territories of the country.
